Head spas are the latest wellness and beauty trend to hit the area. They’re a place where your head, scalp, and hair are treated with luxurious care. Often, their treatments target specific concerns such as oily scalp or dry skin, but they’re almost always coupled with a soothing massage and conditioning. If you want to get in on the trend, here are five Northern Virginia head spas to try.
